@b.o.liking Can you expand on that. What do you take issue with about the Chagos deal? Do you think it should be decolonized? Do you think Chagossians living in Mauritius, Seychelles and W. Sussex should be allowed to return to their homeland? Closer links with neighbouring countries in the EU in itself isn't illegal. Could you be more specific?

@1263 It's already happening. Councils encouraging and facilitating volunteering is just an extension of Cameron's Big Society and what Wrigley as Leader of TDC called 'Community Powered Councils'. It sounds more inclusive, it aims to make people think they have greater say in democracy, but it's just about ceding any responsibility and accountability because they haven't really got a clue. ...

@1263 The MDA is all about poor journalism. It often portrays Herr Wriggler as someone who 'demands' things. It's part of the persona he tries to cultivate for himself as a tough guy who were are meant to believe does things differently and gets results, aided by the Lib Dem biased MDA. It's laughable as Wrigley is a coward, an egotist and an absolute career politician. He is demanding, but only ...

@Paul I wasn't debating right and wrong. Animal welfare is secondary to profit, whether animals are bred for food or for sports. Livestock farming also has a negative environmental impact. Growth hormones and anti-biotics, coupled with cases of contamination where meats are basically marinated in faecal matter post slaughter means the welfare of those eating these 'animal products'  isn't a ...
